Guy Busted for Stealing WiFi at NYC Library — to Play Halo

In a public library, a dude sitting at a monitor with his hands in his lap, covered by a newspaper, implicitly means bad things. Fear not, he's only sneaked in an Xbox to steal the free WiFi and play Halo.

The tumbelog teendrama picked this up - the writer's pal spied the multiplayer shenanigans in the New York Public Library. The guy above brought in a monitor, Xbox, wireless router, what looks like a Turtle Beach Ear Force gaming headset (I have one), and an external hard drive. His controller is concealed by yesterday's New York Post.

"He proceeded to play Quake/Halo/Call of Duty," says the photographer, "Some nerd fighter game while yelling out instructions to his 'teammates.'"

Small wonder then, that it "took him 20 minutes to set it all up. Took him 2 minutes to get kicked out."
